Someone else showed up Saturday to buy it. Then later I seen a black 4door rubicon, called the next morning, and should have put down the deposit, but for some reaon I thought about it for a few hours, called about 4pm to buy it, and someone already spoke for it.
He's great to deal with, I've bought several in the last 1 1/2 including my 05 unlimited which now sports a 5.3 V-8.

Well, I only got 1 JK, it is a silver 4 door, actually came from CA, and belonged to a member on this board, still had the JKForum stickers on the jeep which led me to here.
I looked at your jeep last time I was up there, that trip I picked up an 06 yellow clean title rubicon, and 02 TJ salvage that only needed a windshield and frame fixed.
I almost pulled the trigger on your jeep for a grand more than you picked it up for at least. I have a 97 that I am V-8ing and 1 toning now, and had just pulled it in the garage and started the week before going up there, I was trying to talk myself into putting it back together and picking up this jeep and building it. Once he started lowering the price on the net, I knew I should have bought it. You got a NICE find! The old saying "think long, think wrong" has bitten me a few times.

Keep me informed on the maden trip also, You are only 3 hours away or so, so I'd be game.

well thanx for leaving it! i'm really glad i got this thing over a TJ for a DD ... its just that much nicer.

the red rubi that he just had from a theft recovery was almost in the family too ... if dad hadn't been buyin a new 90hp outboard for the whailer, his drool would have claimed it. and i got $20 says as soon as the cottage sells my dad check's davey's every day for the next TJ rubi to pass by.

That red rubicon was a great deal for sure, it didn't last long at all. Here is my pride and joy Davey's special.
2005 LJ unlimited, it had 8500 miles on it when I bought it. I bought a new frame to start with, and it kinda went downhill from there!
